High Performance TILE64™ Processor Reduces Component Count and Power Consumption

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - April 29, 2008) - INTEROP -- Tilera Corporation, developer of
the breakthrough TILE™ family of high-performance multicore processors
for the embedded market, today announced that it will demonstrate the open
source SNORT software running on Tilera's TILE64™ processor and handling
10 gigabits-per-second of network traffic, the highest application
performance available on a single-chip, all while consuming less than 20
watts. By comparison, the nearest competitor only runs at 1/3 the
performance, handling 3.5 gigabits-per-second of traffic, and consuming
over 30 watts of power.

SNORT, an open source application that performs deep packet inspection, is
used as a common benchmark to evaluate processor performance and typically
requires multiple X86 quad-core processors to perform at a
10-gigabit-per-second rate. Processor performance on SNORT is a critical
benchmark for networking equipment providers that are expanding their
security to L4 and L7 deep packet inspection, as well as for firewalls,
intrusion prevention systems (IPS), intelligent switches and network
forensics.

"Deep-packet inspection applications like SNORT are critical to ensuring
network security, but such applications require a huge amount of processing
capability to run at full capacity," said Rao Gattupalli, Vice President of
Applications, Tilera Corporation. "The TILE64's unprecedented 10
gigabits-per-second of performance running SNORT enables network equipment
providers to build systems that are more sophisticated and secure than ever
before with fewer chips, smaller footprint and lower power consumption."

"Running open source SNORT on the Tilera processor highlights the
simplicity that Tilera brings to multicore. Our customers can take their
existing code and achieve high performance without changing their code
architecture," said Ihab Bishara, Director of Marketing, Tilera
Corporation. "By comparison, other multicore vendors require months of code
re-architecture in order to leverage their hardware acceleration engines
and only reach 3.5 gigabits-per-second on this benchmark."

Tilera has solved the multi-processor scalability problem with general
purpose processors, standard programming paradigms, and advanced debugging
and optimization tools that can harness the processing power of hundreds of
cores on a single chip. Tilera's technology addresses the biggest challenge
in today's semiconductor market: offering a general purpose processor that
is programmable in standard C and C++, high performance, and low power.

2361 at the 2008 Interop Las Vegas show, April 29 - May 1 at the Mandalay
Bay Convention Center.
